My local library has a coffee shop in it.

Luckily there are lots of books, I haven't seen them removing any.

Luckily there are lots of books, I haven't seen them removing any.

Why is this lucky? Are the books being used?

Actually yes! It's a pretty nice place.
Oh, never mind. I have seen some libraries that have very low usage rates of books compared to computers and I would not mourn a scaling down of their books on hand as long as they kept a strong catalog.
